Students must be at least 5 years old by September 1, 2017, to start kindergarten in August 2017. While the state requires incoming kindergarten students to be 5 years old by August 1, 2017, Carmel Clay Schools grants a waiver to any student who will attain that age by September 1, 2017.

When registering children, parents/guardians will need an official birth certificate (not a hospital record) and proof of residency. Proof of residency consists of a rental agreement, purchase agreement, closing documents or deed and a utility (electric and/or gas) statement. Parents/guardians should also note that immunization records must be submitted to the school by the first day of instruction. Those records may also be scanned and uploaded online, dropped off at the school or sent by a doctor’s office.
